Is it just me, or does everyone that uses Firefox, just give up the ability to watch embedded video (you know the windows stuff that's everywhere now adays).
It's a great browser and works faster than IE, (because IE is now a bloated pile of steaming code) until you want to watch something, then it doesn't work at all.
Am I doing something wrong?? |

I don't have any trouble with any streaming video. What sort of videos are you having trouble with? Can you link to an example? What version of firefox are you running? | |

No problems here either. You sure you have took the effort and looked to see if JS was on and/or flash was installed?  | |

No problems watching embedded video here. Even on my HTPC which has a vanilla Firefox 2.x install (no addons at all) it handles embedded video fine. Maybe it's a flash issue, like suggested?
Cheers

My previous installation of Firefox always told me that it needed extra codecs for Windows Media Player, but never worked now matter how many times I tried to download what I thought was a suitable codec. Re-installation and a newer version seemed to have fixed that (though I re-installed WMP at the same time and think it might have been the player itself).

yea butch. I'd agree that's a codec issues. It really doesn't sound like an issue with firefox itself! Most of the time any issues in firefox are because it hasn't associated the file type with the player. Find out what video's aren't working and if it's flash or quicktime or whatever just install the software over again and make sure firefox has associated the filetype with the correct player! | |

Sorry surreal, but, like they others, I don't have any problems either.
It's beginning to look like a matter of operator error.

All the flash/youtube stuff works fine, but WMP, quicktime, etc all don't work. I have screwed around with it countless times and have never gotten them to work. | |
